Re: Who's Everyone Seeing Live?
a good friend of mine's been on tour w/ them for this one, and hit a bunch of shows in Europe last year. I am envious. I would love to hang out with those guys.

Re: Who's Everyone Seeing Live?
I saw the Sleaford Mods on the weekend. Brilliant. I ran into a friend from high school at the Tommy Stinson show last year. I hadn't seen him in like 30 years and it was wonderful to reconnect. He coincidentally does live in Nova Scotia and he emailed me in late 2016 to tell me that he was coming b...

Re: Toronto 2/4
The show was solid but... They seemed tired at first, then it got going. Maybe the result of 3 shows in 3 nights. Toronto was their 5th show in five nights. I wouldn't be very flattered by that if I were the band. It certainly doesn't hold them to a very impressive standard! I think they've still g...

One of the biggest hurdles I face in trying to understand backlash to identity politics and so called "political correctness" is that I don't react in those ways when confronted with it, and listen, that's on me.

I watched that last Hip show. It was the first time I ever saw them live. They have an undeniable amount of great songs, but they were never really my thing. That show blew me away and I can say it was the bravest, most pure and honest performance I have ever seen and I've probably seen a thousand r...

I don't usually play this game, but I will for this song. To me, it's clear that this is Cooley's anti-slut-shaming song.

I haven't actually heard the song, but reading through it, it seems like a commentary on how back in the old man's time, it was the young men who were out tearing up the town, getting drunk and high and finding the loose girls for some action, but now the women are doing it too.

If Trump is elected, on the global stage America is going to be perceived as being in the same category as Russia and North Korea. Trump has a lot of similarities to Putin and Kim Jong-un.

Re: DBT to play at Democratic National Convention
My thoughts are as follows. 3EB WAS a really, really good band in the mid to late 90s. Their self-titled album is a classic in my opinion. Every track on that album is great. If someone left you or you're going through some form of loss, that album really hits home. Ever since, they have spiraled. ...

We agree. But I don't remember anyone saying that all clergy were evil. I think most people around here are well aware that nothing productive results from making sweeping generalizations.
